Exclusive: Liverpool plot future move for 23-year-old Brazilian winger

Liverpool are seeking to add one-v-one quality out wide in the summer transfer window.

The Reds have lost Mohamed Salah - who reached a deal to rip up his £400k per week contract one year early. And if a buyer can be found it is likely that Federico Chiesa will also be leaving.

Sporting director Richard Hughes has already sealed a deal for Victor Munoz - triggering the Spain international’s €40m Osasuna release clause.

Liverpool need more wingers

More signings are required however for the outgoing Premier League champions - who sorely lacked pace and dribbling ability in wide areas last season.

Yan Diomande was the name in the frame for a long time - with Liverpool even having a bid worth up to €100m rejected for the Ivorian by RB Leipzig.

Now that the 19-year-old looks set to join Paris Saint-Germain - if Leipzig agree to a sale - the Anfield side are back on the hunt for new wide forwards.

Bradley Barcola, Mateus Mane, Said El Mala and Bazoumana Toure are just a flavour of the names mentioned in dispatches as potential Liverpool targets.

Liverpool watching Kevin

Another name on the list that Liverpool are keeping a close eye on is that of Kevin at Fulham. The 23-year-old Brazilian joined the Cottagers from Shakhtar Donetsk last summer for a club-record fee of €40m.

The former Brazil under-20 international inked a deal until 2030 with Fulham boasting an option for another year. Lining up mostly from the left wing Kevin provided a goal and two assists across his maiden Premier League campaign.

He did however miss a number of games towards the end of the season with a foot injury. Liverpool have been keeping tabs on Kevin since he agreed his move to Fulham - in order to ascertain how he would adapt to the English top flight.

Liverpool wanted to see how Kevin adapted to PL

Indeed it has been reported previously that chief scout Barry Hunter took in a Fulham match during the 2025/26 campaign with his eyes trained specifically on Kevin.

Kevin came through the ranks at Desportivo Brasil before moving to Sao Paulo-based giants Palmeiras initially on loan in 2020.

Following his breakthrough there - which included a Brazilian league title - he moved to Shakhtar in 2024 for an initial fee of around €12m - rising to €15m.

The winger was named the Miners’ player of the season for the 2024/25 campaign before Fulham swooped and made him the most expensive player in their history.
